Chapter 1585 – Sneaking

A short while later, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow received word from Ancestor Krane Parazen of many powerhouses awaiting in his Territory. Furthermore, he also informed them of how it was terrifying that many powerhouses who attended the came to wreck the grand wedding had died the same time Soul Empress Merlight and the others died.

Once they heard of this strange phenomenon causing fearmongering among the hearts of the Dragon Families Powerhouses, they became dumbfounded.

Indeed, even though the news was being heavily suppressed, it managed to make its way through the human territories like a trail of oil has been lit on fire. Not only them, but almost every righteous path power seemed to have received reports on these mysterious deaths.

"This means that only the Grand Elders of the Zlatan Family are alive...?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but tremble while the arm that held the messaging talisman connected to Ancestor Krane Parazen shook severely.

The Grand Elders of the Zlatan Family were at High-Level Martial Overlord Stage. They received word that all the Low-Level and Mid-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouses ended up dead, so what did that mean?

It meant that the Zlatan Family were no longer a part of the Four Great Dragon Families!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow were stunned as they looked at each other, instantly realizing that it should be Davis's work. The ones who came to ruin their marriage were all dead.

The Towering Cloud Hall's Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky, Vital Tempering Sect's Gong Hyun-Ki, and Gong Kim-Il, Twilight Physician Hall's Kain Bloodlife, and even the Flowing Mist Sect's Ancestor Larzen Metaxas and Ancestor Hiden Gilmore who didn't show up for anything. Still, in this grand wedding, four of the active eight Nine Western Territories Hegemons fell.

Outside of the Nine Western Territories, the Weapon Refining Villa's Klein Swordhand and Fierce Swordsmith Master, the three people from the Dual Lotus Manor. Almost all of them seemed to be reportedly dead while other powers were scrambling to check if their own powerhouses were alive.

The entire scenario was ridiculous at the fact that not all of them died but the fact that all of them died at the same time at different places without facing any kind of aggression or offering resistance. It was as if their lives were simply reaped from the places they just stood or sat.

"Five Hegemons of Small-Sized Territories, including the Zlatan Family. Their fall is nothing but confirmed, but it remains to be seen if there are any Ancestors in the Zlatan Family."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim incredulously spoke before he turned to look at his wife, "Have you heard of anyone like that?"

"No, I don't think so." Ancestor Tirea Snow shook her head, "In the Dragon Families, I heard that they go by the rule that their strongest cultivator rules, so their Patriarch is usually the strongest cultivator in their families even if they become old."

"What about the other powerhouses who offended us? The one from Emperor Sword Sect, White-Winged Tiger Empire? Even the other three Great Dragon Families?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but wonder as he didn't hear any unforeseen deaths on their side. Or were they just hiding it in order to suppress the chaos?

Ancestor Tirea Snow contemplated for a few seconds before her eyes lit up.

"Davis likely did not target them to aggravate them. He likely left them a warning by making an example out of the Zlatan Family and the other hegemons to get them the message that they might face the same fate if they messed with us, and just as he wanted, they are in the Thousand Pill Palace Territory as we speak, hesitant to enter our Territory."

"Fuck, he even made arrangements for us to gain a breather at that final moment!?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but swear while he felt pained and inadequate. Even in death, Davis's actions still gave them an advantage, a massive one at that. Whether they wanted to escape or make a stand, they did gain enough time to do so.

However, since Isabella and Nadia were present, they made up their hearts and minds and chose to stay.

"Master always sees quite a bit ahead, so this isn't surprising."

Nadia spoke from the side. She also heard what they were talking about and became proud of her master. Nevertheless, her eyes gleamed in scrutiny as she looked towards the Purple Guest Palace.

"And I make sure nothing gets out of the path that master carved ahead...!"

Nadia leaped into the skies and turned into a gaseous streak of dark energy that rapidly flung across the Alstreim Family. Quickly, the dark gaseous veil all over her body faded as she swung in mid-air like a wheel before her claws abruptly jutted out from her paws.

"Come out!!!"

Abruptly, the pitch-black death energy that revolved around her body shot into an area that seemed empty. At the same time, both of her claws slashed across the air, creating a disastrous cross-slashed death energy attack that was launched at the Purple Guest Palace.

However, before it could reach the Purple Guest Palace, it struck the empty space before yellowish light energy started to fill the area in response as it defended against the slicing death energy. They seemed to be equally matched, obliterating themselves in the process, and just before the attacks could fade away, a spark of yellow light shot towards the Purple Guest Palace, almost reaching it!

But before it could completely enter the Purple Guest Palace, Nadia appeared in front of the silhouette covered with a yellowish light, causing it to stop, and then, its fluctuations became clear, at the Peak-Level Ninth Stage, causing Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others to suck in a deep breath of cold air.

A Peak-Level Ninth Stage Soul Emperor again!?

"How perceptive..." The yellowish light faded from that person who was about to enter the Purple Guest Palace, "I didn't think you would be able to find me..."

His appearance became clear as a bald head appeared with six red dots over his forehead. He wore a simple robe that made him look like a common man, not like a majestic Soul Emperor at all. However, he possessed this confident smile on his face that said that he didn't face fear at all.

"Leave or die~"

Nadia simply stated as her menacing voice echoed while the Peak-Level Soul Emperor raised his two hands in surrender.

"Well, I really don't want to offend you or anything after seeing you devour Old Lady Merlight and Hadrian Cross's corpses like that. Just give me their spatial rings, and I'll be on my way. After all, they belong to my Soul Palace."

Nadia narrowed her eyes, but she didn't relent.

"Those are master's spoils."

"Master?" The Soul Emperor's brows furrowed, "So that rumored Emperor of Death is your master? Makes sense that he grew such a terrifying magical beast without even having the world come to know of the slightest hint. Or should I say, as expected of the man who could kill that stubborn and undying old lady?"

He smirked while Nadia's eyes gleamed.

She took a step forward, wanting to make a move when suddenly numerous overbearing might erupted towards the east. She turned her head around and saw tens of dots in the skies enlarging as they kept heading towards her in two groups.

The Soul Emperor also turned to look at them, appearing to let out a mocking smile.

"Ah, you all came. Once you knew that I, the brave Soul Emperor Yorhan remained unharmed, you walked in like the cowards you are..."

"Hmph!~"

A loud harrumph echoed from a distance in response.

Soon, as many as nine powerhouses approached them in one group while the other group had a similar count.

The first group wore luxurious crimson, sapphire, and emerald robes, matching the attires of the Domitian, Orcha, and Ike Families. The Zlatan Family wasn't here, but their auras were blazing with intensity as if they were announcing their overlords' presence for the whole world to see with ardor.

On the other hand, the second group wore white robes and golden fur over their shoulders, a type of majestic aura brewing with their arrival, unlike the Dragon Families' overbearing attitude. They all radiated a certain type of energy that calmed people in their presence, making them adopt a worshiping attitude towards them as if they were superior beings.

Regardless of their outlook, except for a single person, their auras and undulations were all at the High-Level and Peak-Level Ninth Stage!

They arrived at the edge of the Grand Alstreim City before a voice echoed out.

"Don't go overboard, Old Man Yorhan. We are not here to squabble with you today. Instead, we came to see if that rumored Emperor of Death is still alive or not."
